VLC compile problem

[Lorenzo Milesi <lorenzo.milesi@gmail.com>]

Just a quick help. I'm trying to compile VLC from source, taken from
www.videolan.org.
I've installed libavcodec and liba52 from debian repository
Then I get this error message, when launching 'make'

gcc -Wsign-compare -Wall -pipe -o liba52tofloat32_plugin.so
liba52tofloat32_plugin_a-a52tofloat32.o `top_builddir=../../..
../../../vlc-config --libs plugin a52tofloat32`
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/liba52.a(parse.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S
can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/liba52.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

is it a problem of vlc or of liba52?

thanks
